'. The dog pouDdfl of Frnnce are coo- trtbatlng an element to the deadly 'trencb warfare tbat la old aa conflict •nd, at the same time, modern In its conception and achievement.
Every dog pound In the republic Ls contributing every canine It picks np, snd numerous breeding societies aro furnishing regular quotas, but iitlll dogs are needed to fill a very great snd growing need.
So many diverse duties have been developed for dogs in this war that jpractically every canine, provided ho Is Intelligent enough to be trained, >«an be utilized.
A dog kennel large enough for Vainlng hundreds of dogs Is a regu-
Epart of the equipment of every snch army now. It turns out Ined animals for front service. I Originally dogs were used for Jnst flwo purposes—carrying aid to tho nronnded and accompanying patrols to '"acant out" the enemy. The Belgians Ihave always had a third duty—that of Itrairlng dogs to draw machine guns. ' Bat tbe highly specialized art of lirar today has resulted In amplification >of)ybese duties. Two of tbe most im- ap<irtant roles now played by canines— pllason" work and sentinel service— lean be said to have attained supreme Importance.
» Play Useful Part. ,
j 'Tilason" dogs bave the most dan¬ gerous and the most nsefal parta to telay. They carry messages between attacking troops and batteries to the llrear, which shield the troops by bar- mge flre. The Intenafty of enemy ttonnter-barrBges to prevent this kills thnndreda of dogs, bat still many Itrabied animals sUp through. For [every dog who dies on tbe field of Ihonor France considers It bas saved ithe life of the soldier messenger, who {lltherwiae would have to do tbe work, i llaay dogs wbo fail to show "pti-
Sde for "Uason" work develop Into cellent seattnela. Those particular- Ily fitted for this work take their [plsee at the top of the trench al'^n^
elds the gun barrel of their master, nd detect every patrol or every In- leiTldoal soldier that attempts passage ief tbe barbed wire entanglements '•head.
Dogs are still trained and used to' 'Carry aid to the wounded. One vet-j |«ran—Dick—who has been ofilclallyl {decorated with the War Cross for' Itrsvery at Verdun, where bis master iras killed and the dee hlmselt seri-

Are Carefully Trslned. The dogs ondergo' flrst of all sn er- •mlnatlon hefore a special Jury before beint accented. The docs, when so- eepted, are placed In centers of In- strtictlon, preparation and training. There they are entrusted to experi¬ enced trainers, who make them famll¬ lsr with fheir position as soldiers, and conrage. discipline, sangfroid, prudence and dinpntch are taught th(>ni. It ts only aftpr a fairly long course In those schools that the doga are sent to the front and start their aervice.
In the Voagea, In I^rrBln« and In Alsace the dogs often work with trans¬ port and carriage of provisions, har- nesaed to vehicles specially construct¬ ed for the purpose. The dogs like this work, which they carry out with rapid¬ ity and energy.
The dogs attached aa guards to depots of arma and munitions are per¬ fect and trustworthy guides, swift In attack and defense. Aa to rat catchers, there, like the sentinels, are the best friends of the Polio, living with him, faithful. Intelligent, affectionate com¬ panions, the Boldler's true friend. Their watchfulness enables him to sleep.
Ambulance dogs are required to dis¬ cover the wounded and to go and find the ambulancea. The dogs cnrry to tho latter the cap of the wounded man or some object Indicating the unit to which he belonged. Other dogs, differ¬ ently trained, call ambulances to the wounded by means of prearranged cries. All these dogs carry a little 'wallet containing a flaak and various rough dressings for flrst aid. They are accustomed to cover all sorts of coun¬ try, to clear all obstacles and to have no fear of cannon or shell flre. Proved Their Value. They hnve proved themselves valu¬ able since the declaration of war and for three years they have carried out their laborious and perilous work with the ambulances to which they are at¬ tached In the moat heavily bombarded districts.
Dogs, as a rule, show great distress when shells burst near them nnd howl plteously. On the other band, they have been known to dash along the top of a trench during infantry flre, barking at the smoking muzzle, sharp¬ ly examining puffs of dirt thrown up by enemy bullets and apparently en¬ joying the noise. Evidently there is some chemical exuded by exploding shells tbat peculiarly affects a dog.
Regimental mascots appear to have the best time, for they stay in bil¬ lets, live on the fat of the land and are made much of by tbe local in¬ habitants. The pampered terrier of a certain famous regiment of foot- guards sat on the top of a transport wagon at the tall of the battalion and barked at all the civilian dogs he passed.
INSPIRES SPIRIT OF LOYALTY AMONG WOMEN
Patriotic League of the Y. W. C.
A. is Doing Splendid
Work.
~ "The woman's committee la being much encouraged In its work of en- rolUngAhe assistance of all American women to help the country, ench In her own way, by the work of the Y. W. C. A. In Its ^patriotic league," says Mrs. Phillip North Moore, head of tbe de¬ partment of health and recreation of the woman's committee.
"This is a league made up especially of young girls, and Its idea la to In¬ spire them to adopt the highest stand¬ ards of womanliness nnd loyalty to their country. The pledge which they sign reads:
" 'I pledge myself to express my pa¬ triotism ;
" 'By doing better than ever before whatever work I can do,
" 'By rendering whatever special service I can at this time to my com¬ munity aud country.
" 'By living up to the hlRhest stand¬ ards of honor aud by helping others to do the same.'
"Especlnlly In connection w^th tho dangers arising from the large train¬ ing camps ull over the country, It Is vulunble to have orgiuiizatlons of j'oung girls who can be reached hy In¬ formation and udvlce as to their prop¬ er conduct In these unusual conditions. An appenl to the honor nnd patriotism of tho girls tlioinselves will give them u vt^y much dearer Idea of their own obligations thnn any number of warn¬ ings, or than tbe ordinary safeguards and restrictions.
"It Is nn exceptional privilege so to direct the spirit of youth and patriot¬ ism thnt It nmy be a power and not a peril In these days of trial."
Generals Average Sixty Years.
The ages of generals on the new wor council average about sixty years. The ages of some of theni are as follows:
Chief of Staff Bllsa, sixty-four; Ma¬ jor General Crozler, sixty-three ; Major Oeneral Weaver, sixty-three; Miijor Oeneral Cro\vder. fifty-eight; Major Oeneral Sharpe, fifty-seven; General Scott, sixty-four; General Bla<:k, sixty- two.
In Dublin. Belfast and other cities lo Ireland the Infant mortality is 50 Iter cent higher than in New York city. Oae of the big bits of work, said Lady Aberdeen, Is "getting behind the babies In order to build uv tbs oatiuu we&k- oaed by war."
Plain Clothes for "Cops." Wltb tbe exception of the traffic squad, Wichita policemen will no longer appear lo uniform. Safety Director 8. W. Zlckefoose Issued the edict and ex¬ plained that "be did uut want to adver¬ tise bis otlicers tu those who wanted to keep out of the way ot tho Uw."
HUGE "SUBWAYS" AID BYNgS DRIVE
Engineers Wortc for Monttis Pre¬ paring ttie Way.
PUN AHACK AS SURPRISE
Tunnels Constructed From Bases Many Miles In Rear Directly to AdvsneeJ Trenches—Batteriea of Great Guns and Huge Trench Mftrtars Sent For¬ wsrd by the Underground Routes- Attack ls*8urprise.
Extensive developments In tunneling subways and other forms of subter¬ ranean passages contributed largely to the smashing aucress of the flrst phase of the British offensive con<lucted by the Third army, under General Sir Ju¬ lian Byng, who was In command of the Itlfnted forces at Oalllpoll In lOin. Through IndefHtlgnhte lobor cover¬ ing a period of several months tho British army's engineering forces con¬ structed a series of tunnels coinpnrtible to New York's four-trnck subway lines from bases mnny mllea In the rear di¬ rectly to their advanced trenches, nt Intervals along the forty-mile front se¬ lected for the attack.
It was deemed prudent to adopt this method of preparation In place of the hitherto Invariable artillery bombard¬ ment. Several factors Induced the adoption of the new formula for offen¬ sive tactics.
In the flrst place, one of the prin¬ cipal defensive features of the Hln- idenburg line was the fosse, or tunnel, running the whole length of the sec¬ ondary defensive position, with anten¬ nae running rearward nt intervnls. ;Thls enabled the Oermnns to shift and transport troops, munitions and even light pieces underj:>-ound. • Secondly, the condition of the ter¬ rain over which the battle wns to be fought was such that it was Ipflnltely better thnt it be kept solid, dry and Iflrm for the advance of the attacking units. Instead of being pounded to a bog of mud and sllme by the tremen¬ dous hammering of thousands of fshells.
Surprise Attack. Thirdly, It was of the utmost value tbat the thrust should be a surprise ^attack, aa it was well known that the (German high command believed firmly ithat Sir Douglas Halg's attention was concentrated on the Ypres sector.
General 63mg'i victory was won on tbe bsttlefleld chosen by von Hinden¬ burg when he retreated to the famons "line" which bears his name in Febru- iery and March last. As the German troops fell back they systematically devastated the country, felling trees, blowing tip whole forests, dynamiting Tillages and removing every crumb and vestige of cover for advancing \roops from the map. They left the ,zone of operations bare and naked to the view of their observers on ridges In the rear. In captive "sausage" bal¬ loons and airplanes.
The British and French pushed for¬ ward their lines in contact with the enemy and dug in and Intrenched last March when the German retreat stop¬ ped at the Hindenburg line, prepared months In advance and admirably pro¬ tected by barbed wire entanglements on tt scale never before seen.
During the early summer prelimi¬ nary work was begun for the sudden smash which materialized on Novem¬ ber 20. From points far in the rear— protected by ruins of villages destroyed during the bnttle of the Sorame In the latter half of 1916, nnd from the cover of woods and forests which had sprout¬ ed new vegetation despite the axes and hatchets of the retreating vandals, the tunnelers and "sand-hogs" began their work. ,
The underground routes lending to¬ ward the front were no tortuous sul)- terranean passages with tiny, nnrrow g^uge railways and little cars hauled by mules pulling a few shells to each load. Instend they we^^jflne, large, woll >entllntod nnd llihtcd subways, with standard gauge railways Inside nnd whole trains, propelled by elec¬ tricity, cnrrying shells, food nnd other iminltlons up toward the front. By Underground Routes. Entire hnttories of the grontest guns ever used In history, ns well ns the gl- frantle tront-h mortars evolvd hy posi¬ tion warfare, were sent forward by the underKrouiul routes, nnd men In the trenches were relieved by fresh divis¬ ions, who traveled In style pn the sub¬ way trains. Later, on the eve of the attack, whole regiments of cavalry were sent through the tunnels on thai heels of the gront tanks-that lumbered through nnd held thomselves In readi¬ ness to st.irt forward.
It was no wonder thnt the Oermnn, •units occupying the Hindenburg line I secton| opposite the front chosen for the flfltlsh attack, dubbed their line "Eden." No British shelling bothered them In the daytime, and If a few pholls were lobbed over during thei night, the enemy regarded It as nothing more than the dnlly "strafe." The Brit¬ ish had good reason for withholding their artillery flre during the months, of preparation. They knew that every shell they flred would call a Krupp projectile in reply, and they did not want too many enemy pieces sprlnk-. ling their rear lines, for there would be danger that the subways—even though they were bored deep—how tar under¬ ground I may not say—would be wrecked by a penetration shelL The! underground lines were cut iu various places at different times, bowevor, bat always repaired. j
